On the way to Glasgow

under the great grey
weight of cloud
a ferocious green

she buried
her wedding ring
before she left -
under the flowering
wisteria

Wisteria

flowering wisteria -
woven
into the warm sunlit wall

Warm Tulips

chill spring evening
we warm ourselves
over red tulips

Tulips

red tulips, open mouthed
if you listen carefully
you can hear them sing

Tulips

red tulips, today
their mouths open wide
singing ‘alleluia’

April Richmond Park

ancient oaks
infant leaves
fathomless blue

Tulips

red tulips, church yard
their cupped petals closed together -
palms in fervent prayer

April Wedding

wedding party in the rain
her bare shoulders
his protecting arm
embraces rain drops and blossoms
Champagne and confetti

Gorse

on the dunes
flowering Gorse bushes
its petals
cold and yellow tongues
on a pike of thorns

Gorse

Gorse
cold yellow flames
smothered in a bed of thorns


Gorse –
sharp dark needles
pierce the air

from puddles
blinding splinters
of the sun

Three Spring Haikus

...

outside the church
strewn with blossom
confetti


...



a glut of blossom
carried on the chill wind
into the gutters

...




this early April
northern light
so strong and clear
